CERES Global

We love India, and we're heading back for our 11th annual visit! CERES Global have built such wonderful friendships, have gained great insight and understanding in to the needs and aspirations of some incredible communities, and now we're able to work together on some fantastic projects.

The host organisations we work with are all exceptional in the community development and/or environmental work they do. For a description on the organisations we visit and the breadth of work they do click here.

The next trip CERES Global will focus on engagements in Mumbai and in Pal. We have a number of Swinburne University student groups working on an IT project in Pal, and a building project in Jamnya, so while they're busy working on their projects, we can spend time with ApneAap kids in the Mumbai red light district, and with the local tribal Pal community working on social and environmental challenges.

India program costs are $950 per week. This price includes all
internal transport, meals, accommodation, the purchase of carbon credits to offset airline travel, administration and project costs. This price does not include flights to and from India.

CERES Global works with communities to generate solutions that are community driven and meet the needs identified by members of the community. Project sustainability is a key aspect of successfully engaging with communities ad projects are designed and implemented with these principles in mind. Focus areas include:

In Mumbai, we are building a friendship of support
with our partner organisation ApneAap. An incredible
grass roots organisation working with children whose
mother's are currently working in the red light district
in Mumbai. In Mumbai we're also learning about waste
management, and building relations with BK Soni and
Reduce Reuse Recycle. In Pal and Tamil Nadu we have
relationships with communities going back over 10 years
whom we are now proud to call friends.
